I like hibiscus, and this is a hibiscus drink. I can’t find the other flavors. perhaps I over-brewed it?
I was hoping for a bit of pineapple hibiscus tea or maybe pineapple coconut hibiscus tea. Instead it was all delicious juicy and tart hibiscus.
I think I need to order some of this, once my other others I have arrive and I drink some space into my cupboard. Then I can fiddle with the amount and times more.
It is very nice to look at with all the orange peels
Post-Steep Additives: German rock sugar
sweeter, less tart, more delicious
Resteep: 7 minutes was a weak hibiscus pineapple – so close!
gave it a bit longer, orange – pineapple – hibiscus DELICIOUS but still weak, but it shows me the potential of this tea!
